Before we left Frisco, we had to grocery shop and stock up for at least 5 days because where we will be staying at Taylor Lake does not have convenient shopping.
The drive to Buena Vista where we turn off to go up Cottonwood Pass was short and uneventful. But as we turn to go thru town we find we have to take a detour because of a parade. Then we have to find a place to pull over for lunch and unhitch the car because Cottonwood Pass is over 12,000 feet elevation. Going up (westward) is not too hard as the road is paved but as we cross the pass, the road turns to gravel and it is all downhill, lots of switchbacks and tons of traffic. Although it is only 30 miles to Taylor Park, it is a 2 hour drive.
The park is on top of a hill overlooking Taylor Reservoir and the mountains rimming the continental divide. All 9 Born Free's arrive about the same time and we are clustered together. We have a hamburger BBQ welcoming dinner and get acquainted we everyone. Most we know from last year but there are some newbies.
